Appuldurcombe Farmhouse - Appuldurcombe Farmhouse (non-listed) is a stone dwelling steeped in history. Dating back to 1780, it formed part of Appuldurcombe Park, previously owned by the well renowned Worsley family.

The layout includes a kitchen, living room, boot room, snug, playroom, w/c to the ground floor while at first floor level there are 4 double bedrooms (2 with en-suite facilities), single room and family bathroom.

The Farmhouse is encompassed by a low-level stone wall with gardens laid to lawn and edged with a colourful flower border. The flagstone path leads you to the front door, covered by a porch with a clay tile roof on oak beams, supported by two concrete plinths. Above the front door is a nod to the building’s age with a date stone stating the year 1780.

The front door opens into the hallway with the original flagstone flooring. To the right is the spacious living room that looks out across the farm with glorious views as far as Culver Down in Bembridge.
